Classroom Talk: 4/16/2003 - There are two ways to learn about God's Life. We can either study past examples of sacrifice and humility, or we can agree to let God use us as living examples of what he wishes us to know about Himself. While the former approach may educate us, only the latter can elevate us into that Light and Life we wish to know.

Student Talks: 10/4/2019 - Key Lesson: The more we learn to let go and give ourselves to the greater Good, the more Good we will find in everything we are given to go through in this life.

Classroom Talk: 4/1/2005 - The more we practice quietly stepping outside that rushing stream of thoughts about ourselves, the more we realize our True Self as being something altogether unthinkable; for the undreamed power of a silent mind is this: Since it never sinks itself into useless considerations of the painful kind, it has no need to be rescued from its own troubled creations!

Classroom Talk: 4/26/2023 - Praying to change the world around us is pointless until we see that the world around us is the way it is because we are the way we are; only in the realization of this truth -- and in our agreement to make the sacrifices inherent in its revelation -- is there hope for the world, and for us, as well.

Classroom Talk: 4/30/2003 - Whenever we will do the very best we can do, give the very most that we have to give, even though we may be far from perfect in that moment nevertheless . . . that moment is acting upon us to bring us into its native perfection. And it is only through learning to endure our own imperfections that we realize Perfection itself is our guide and master.

Classroom Talk: 4/10/2022 - Part 1: The Unknowable Source of Peace in real life far exceeds our reach... because it can't be grasped, let alone taken by hand; it can only be received by a heart that has willingly emptied itself of hope in all things seen. Part 2: To see that our happiness is as the sand in an hourglass that never stops turning itself over sets the stage for realizing...

Classroom Talk: 4/17/2002 - Revisiting one's past and living out what once was is a false light at sea that promises safe harbor, but that draws the unwary to crash upon the rocks of regret and sorrow yet to be resolved. Learn to make the present moment your personal port of call and watch how the waves of what didn't work out disappear in the perfect calm of It's sheltering Reality.

Classroom Talk: 5/4/2022 - There is a proportionate and direct relationship between the degree of an inconsolable pain -- some form of suffering that's pretty much our daily companion -- and our misunderstanding the true purpose of why we have been given a life.

Classroom Talk: 4/24/2024 - Here's why truth teachings through the ages speak of our being "blind," as well as why -- if we hope to know the Divine -- we need new "eyes to see": As surely as the still waters of a mountain lake reflect the light of the moon, or that an injury starts to heal in the same moment incurred, the answer to the question "who am I?" is always in plain sight.

Classroom Talk: 4/27/2003 - The natural sensations that attend daily living have nothing in common with being truly sensitive to life. The former is born of cascading reactions that begin and end in time, while the latter is related to True Conscience and is as timeless as the eternal Wisdom to which it gives evidence.
